Hello
my name is George (BEng Electronics Eng., BSc Computer Science ,MEng
Satellite Telecommunications) and i live in Limassol - Cyprus.
Member of Cyprus Amateur Radio Society from 2016( C.A.R.S.). In HF i am
operating with my Icom IC-746 and with a home made random wire antenna +
9:1 Unun. You can also find me in the local APRS traffic transmiting my
beacons through my Kenwood TH-D72e or my Kenwood TM-D710e when i am
mobile.I am also active in DSTAR from home and mobile.

I also run an APRS iGate working 24/7 ,under 5B4AMD-10 in Limassol. And a DSTAR hotspot under 5B4AMD B always connected to REF0045. More info in my website.

LoTW

eQSL.cc Authenticity Guaranteed

My first qsl priority is LoTW,
were i am uploading qso's every week. I also use the CARS bureau and
eQSL which is issued automatically every time i make a qso. SWL Reports
are always welcome!

For
papper QSL i prefer the CARS QSL Bureau and maybe sometime in the near
future i will also use the RAAG Bureau as it is faster. I do not want to earn money from QSLing
,i only want to send the QSL card to my contacts for the
confirmation(because this is our hobby!). For Direct QSL which is the
last resort please send me an email so i can send you my address. Also
please add an envelope and 2 Euros or 3 USD for the return postage. But as i am stating direct QSL is the last resort. I suggest you to use your local Bureau or have my QSL via LoTW and eQSL which is fast ,easy ,free and you can apply for awards.

As i really enjoy using the 10m band and sometimes the 11m band to talk with friends around Athens, it came as a must of constructing a new antenna. Also i wanted to do this because i have an Albrecht 5890EU ,which operates in these frequencies and i didn't have an extra antenna to operate it.
Due to the lack of space in my QTH(that is why i 'm using the long wire + UnUn antenna), i was trying to find a solution of a vertical polarization antenna ,with high efficiency and as small as possible.
